Forever

to the rescue- (Floyd's pov)

"Wow so this is Mount Rageous?" I chuckled at my Brother's wonder at the flashing lights and glamour, I was just as absorbed in the stunning glamorous sight as the sun set around us.

The Rage Dome show was creeping around the corner. My worries were becoming amplified as I could feel my heart becoming heavier as I was running on sheer hope that Velvet would leave Veneer along with Poppy unscathed.

"Floyd.... Do you think that they're okay?" Branch sighed as I kept my eyes on the road I kept quiet as I was unsure of the answer currently myself but I still sighed out an answer.

"I'm honestly not sure Branch. But I'm hoping for the best."

"Do you wanna talk about being trapped with her?"

"Not really, but this is going to sound kinda sick for saying that I'm glad that I wasn't alone." It was true, I feel disgusting about the weird twisting feeling in my gut that said I was glad I wasn't the only one who was starved and tormented by the green haired brat.

"Oh yeah... you weren't the only one she tortured...." Branch trailed off as he recalled the night John Dory blabbed about how Veneer was thrown into his vanity and had his nose broken. What I've heard and seen that was only one piece out of many years of torment and brutality.

I'm tied up as one half of me wants to know the full story but the other doesn't because my anger for how his sister treated him would burn me alive and get misplaced.

For now we have to focus on getting them out of there in the first place, I know the manor so finding them will be easy, as for breaking the glass container they're in might be more of a hassle. I swerved around the ginormous shiny plastic cars as they nearly crushed us due to our tiny size, and kept my foot on the gas.

I don't want to lose him, especially after everything we've built together. After I've let him in and he reciprocated.

Branch pulled me from my thoughts as tears started to dribble down my face. I looked into his eyes slightly as to not fully take my attention off the road but enough to where he knew I was listening to him.

"Hey Floyd.... When we get them back, do you want to be my best man?" I could feel my heart pounding as I let more tears fall down my face, I forgot that he got engaged too but.. I forgotten how big he's gotten, I remember the day he hatched as if it were yesterday.

"Now boys no rough housing with the egg!" My giggles were infectious as Spruce held Branch's egg with a pout on his small chubby face. Mad that I almost bumped into him while he held our brothers egg.

"Spruce, can I hold him?!" I bounced as my baby lisp was in full swing as I was missing my two front baby teeth waiting for my adult teeth to come in.

"Floyd I don't know man, you're 4 now?"

"I'm a big boy now I won't drop him!"  I hopped around his legs waiting for him to give me the egg

"Well-" he tried to pull the egg up as I made a jump for it wanting to hold him at least once before he hatched.

"Spruce let your brother hold him." Our father's voice chuckled as I looked at him with his shiny sea blue eyes that twinkled with mirth as his hair was a consistent of our hair colors with dabs of white swayed behind him. His pale blue hand coming to rest on my small shoulder as he waited for Spruce to comply.

"Fine." He huffed as I suddenly had my arms filled by the warm heavy oval that held my baby brother in it. I stared in wonder at the pretty turquoise shell that was covered in flicks of glitter.
